Excellent answer. Yes, an artillery firing out of a hex with wire fires at -1 die. WIRE is a Terrain Feature.

Q. Does an Artillery unit ordered by an Artillery Bombard that is in hex containing Wire have a dice reduction when battling?
A. Yes. Like an Infantry unit, an Artillery unit on a hex with Wire will reduce the number of Battle dice it rolls by 1.

Well guys and gals, this has been an arduous journey and I don't think we are finished yet. There are still some particular types of Artillery and certain card plays that create a change in the standard rules. As well as the fact that certain situations create a change.

I will give this example.

I play a Winter Combat Card after my infantry unit has moved two hexes from my opponents Artillery.

Voila! The unit which normally would be attacked on the opponents turn by three dice is now virtually "invisible" and cannot be attacked at all by that artillery unit.

Can you play this card as well after a unit has retreated after an attack of the opponent (because of a flag)? And can you play it then in the turn of the opponent? And if you can play it in the turn of an opponent, would you be able to play it after you have retreated from a close assault from a tank, but before the tank does an armour overrun?

Well either interest has "fizzled out" or you guys are "shell shocked" with the flurry of possible answers.
I would like to wrap up this particular quiz, so I will respond to any remaining answers that are contributed by the end of the month.

In the mean time, I offer two additional answers:MOBILE ARTILLERY - this unit has the ability to modify its own dice roll by decreasing the range through movement on the same turn. No one mentioned it, so I am giving myself the credit.

FROZEN GROUND (Combat Card) this increases the ability of units to move. Combine this card with a ROAD hex bonus and a Mobile Artillery Unit and you can create a great advantage in firepower.
